CircuitPython Goes Turbo With Precompiled Functions
20+ hour, 50+ min ago (40+ words) It would not be at all original to declare that Python is the new BASIC. Like BASIC, it has been the first programming language for a whole generation of coders, and its main advantage is that it's qu......

16+ hour, 18+ min ago (34+ words) Ollama, vLLM & FlexGen — The What, When & Why of Inference Engines If this is the first story you have come across in our LLM Discussions series on Medium …...
ESLint took 4.4s to lint Vue's core. oxlint took 0.24s. Then I turned on the type-aware rules.
23+ hour, 3+ min ago (515+ words) ESLint took 4.4 seconds to lint 445 TypeScript files. oxlint took 0.24. Turn on the type-aware rules that most projects actually want and ESLint climbs to 12 seconds, while oxlint, doing the type-aware pass too, finishes in under one. I went in expecting to…...
Sixteen XORs and not a single if
23+ hour, 43+ min ago (990+ words) Verbose is a small experimental language I build — its compiler proves properties about your code (termination, declared reads, sound types) and emits tiny x86-64 machine code: no runtime, no GC, no libc. Its emitted binaries already compute the TLS 1.3 cryptography for…...

1+ day, 3+ min ago (545+ words) I added a check that asks one question: run the thing that produces this record twice, and do you get the same bytes? One of seven. That number is not a coverage gap I plan to close. It is the…...

1+ day, 10+ hour ago (415+ words) I was building a tool that detects when data quietly changes meaning — a vendor switching units, a source dropping a field, an undocumented enum appearing. The kind of failure where every test passes and every job is green. Claims about…...
I Rewrote One Function in Squirrel, Then in C. One Line of Python Was Just as Fast.
1+ day, 15+ hour ago (543+ words) I maintain a 2D game engine in Python called ABS Engine. Last week I decided it needed C. Not because anything was slow. That is the embarrassing part. I wanted to drop a.c file into a folder and call it from Python…...

My negative test stopped being negative when a config file grew by four rows
1+ day, 20+ hour ago (528+ words) A test whose entire job was to prove a rule gets refused had quietly started proving that the rule passes. It plants a violation and asserts the checker rejects it. It had been green for weeks. It was green because…...
